Music Ministry at Prince of Peace
Experience the Spirit - Music for All Ages
The greatest gift to another is sharing one's time and talent. As followers of Jesus Christ we are asked to serve in mission to our neighbors to help them grow deeper in their faith in Christ. One of the greatest tools we have for this mission is God's gift of music. Join fellow brothers and sisters in making music at Prince of Peace and serve others, yourself and our Savior Jesus Christ.

Our 40th Anniversary Hymn
In 1998 the congregation celebrated its 40th anniversary. A hymn was written for the occasion by Mike Crandall. The words capture the spirit of the congregation as it carries out its mission in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.
Worship, serve, and grow together
Answering the Savior’s call;
One community of Christians,
Prince of Peace unite us all.
Here we worship our Creator,
Sing God’s praises, preach the word,
Gather at communion railings,
Living out the grace we’ve heard.
Here we learn to serve our neighbor,
Christ’s example now we heed.
Reaching out to friend and stranger,
Helping everyone in need.
Here we grow in faith and wisdom,
Holy Spirit lead the way
Learning how to live as Christians:
Share the love of God each day.
Here we nurture and are nourished
Led by God’s impelling call,
Taking every blessing granted
To the world beyond these walls.
Worship, serve, and grow together
Answering the Savior’s call;
One community of Christians,
Prince of Peace unite us all.
Sung to the tune of “Ode to Joy
